Forgive and forget: This I agree on. People need to stop blowing things out of proportion, loosen up, and have fun while they're here, which is what this site is about - having fun. It used to be extremely close-knit here, but somehow or another, people just stopped socializing. No one talks about their lives or experiences or fun things they've been doing anymore, and on top of that, people have become much more edgy.

Disable Chat: A possibility. It won't necessarily make things better though - it would only have the possibility of making the situation less potent. People seem more than willing to communicate via talk-pages though. Eliminating the chat wouldn't eliminate the problem, as the problem lies deeper than the chat room.

Stop the hate blogs: Agreed partially. Meeka and Ariyh's blogs couldn't really be considered hate blogs. Meeka's is simply a straightforward essay and Ariyh's is a statement against the crud going on here (though it should have been on his userpage instead of a blog). Hate/emo blogs in general are forbidden though, and those definitely need to stop.

If you want someone permabanned...: No one other than the administrators or older/highly-respected users have a strong say in whether or not someone gets permabanned. A user can't just up and order an administrator to ban or permaban another user with said result. It already does require evidence to get a permaban - the actions of the admins is a testament to that (ie. why you're still here). Furthermore, the administrators also have to go to Blue for consent.
